Hi, I'm from India. I recently purchased a corsair HX1200i psu which comes with 16A power plug (round pins). My build includes 9950x3d, x870e carbon MB, 420mm aio, 5060ti graphic card asus prime 16 gb (future upgrade to 5080 super/5090), 2tb ssd nvme.
I'm writing to ask advice on which UPS to buy which will work with the power cord provided by HX1200i (holdup time as per cybernetics is 21ms). There is power fluctuation and frequent power cuts in my area, and I have a home inverter installed. My requirement is to have 10-15 of runtime.
1. Should I go for line interactive or online ups, what va and wattage?
2. I looked up some models but 16A pins are very costly and don't have round pins, rather flat pins. Is it necessary for the ups to have a direct 16A socket? Will the system be affected if 16A psu socket is plugged in 6 or 10A socket on the ups?
Hi!
There is no need for an online PSU for personal use, especially since most of them are noisy as hell. You better get a line interactive, preferably from a good brand, APC, Cyberpower etc.
2000VA will be enough.
No need to go for 16A UPS, if you are at 230V.
My system is for 3d art and gaming. I'll be doing renderings mostly.
How much wattage do you suggest for this build considering that I'll be upgrading to a 5090 later?
Is it okay to plug 16A corsair plug to a 6A ups socket? Will there be any power draw issues/damage to the system?
I've this model available in my region but it's 1400W, is it sufficient?
this UPS will be ok. For your rest questions better enter our Discord server.
